How My Secret Journey From
Suicide Survivor To
Karate World Champion Will Now Help Bring Out
The Life
Champion In You

Dear Fellow Life Champion,

I could see it in their eyes,
as people were looking at us, the surviving family at my mother's
funeral. Relatives, friends and strangers were probably thinking,
"they've really
hit rock bottom now - that's the end of them."

In effect, I was being 'counted out' in
terms of achieving any sort
of future success and happiness. And in the back of my mind, I
wondered if they were right.

But ... I'm getting ahead of myself. My mother's
suicide was just the tipping point.

For me, bumps in the road started WAY
before my tragedy ...

Small + Asian + Nerdy = Constant Abuse + Racism

Easy Target For The School
Bullies (oh yeah, the pipe was just a prop)

Look at the photos above. That's me when I was a kid -
small, Asian and nerdy. This made me an extremely easy target for
the school bullies. There wasn't a day that went by at school
without being called a 'chink'
and being physically threatened. The constant abuse and racism
resulted in a
very tough childhood.

Home life was not much better with emotionally abusive
parents as part of a very dysfunctional family. My brother and I
were always ridiculed in front of other relatives as well as family
friends. We also had to endure my parents constantly fighting out
in the open. No wonder why I
chose to spend so much time in my room.

Although I never had to
worry about clothing, food or shelter, I was becoming the product of a
very unbalanced upbringing with NO
confidence or self esteem at all.

Then A Hero Came Into My Life

Then one day in a movie theatre, I saw the late, great Bruce
Lee for the very first time. It was the famous scene where
he took off his top and beat up all the bad guys in the Japanese karate
dojo. I had never seen an Asian man built like him and move like
him before. I was totally stunned and blown away by his
presence on the screen.

He was the much needed
hero that came
into my life and changed me forever!
From that moment on, my own negative image of myself as well as that of
my own culture were erased for good.

My Own Martial Arts Journey

I suddenly felt a much higher
potential for myself. I
wanted to be like Bruce Lee. It was because of
his influence that I started martial arts
and it was through this training that I started my new journey in
personal
development.

Tragedy Strikes ...

Then in March of 1984, one month before my first semester MBA
exams which was
the most grueling academic program I've ever taken, my brother called
me one morning and told me to come to their place right away.
When I got there, I saw my mother lying motionless on her bedroom
floor.

A policeman who rushed in soon after, found three empty
vials in
the bedroom. My mother ended up taking three full vials of
sleeping pills to take her own life. This would actually be her
second suicide attempt and this time, she was determined to be
successful.

My father was sitting on the hallway floor losing it as a
fireman was
assisting him with an oxygen mask. At that very moment, I knew
that my family had hit rock bottom and that life would
never be the same again.

Then I Made A Decision That Would Change My Life Forever

However, almost immediately afterwards, I made a decision
that would change my life forever. I made a fully committed decision
on the spot
that I was NEVER to live my
life as a
victim. In fact, I REFUSED
to become a victim.

I was fully determined to continue my personal development in
all areas
of
life to become a Life
Champion despite what I went through so far.

Not only did I finish my MBA and have a successful 20 year
corporate career, I also became a Master certified (NAUI) scuba diver
and a
certified (CSIA) ski instructor.

But perhaps what I'm known most for is a long successful
martial arts competition career that spanned over 23 years which
included the privilege of representing the
Canadian National Team a few times and becoming a Karate World Champion
(15 times).

So
What Does This All Have To Do With You?

So you might be asking the above question which is quite
fair. It turns out that despite what I've achieved so far, I'm
nothing special. I'm just a regular person who did certain things
to become a Life
Champion even though I was at rock bottom. I'm living
proof that anybody can
become a Life
Champion as
well.

So let's explore how to bring out the Life Champion in
YOU
to overcome challenges and achieve enormous personal success.

But
How Do We Become Life Champions?

Health, Relationships,
Careers/Money

The
problem of course is that none of us
were ever taught in school exactly HOW to create a life of purpose and
passion.

We spend our lives just going through the motions -- instead
of living with purpose. We end up like robots or zombies with our
usual day in and day out routines that do NOT
produce the real satisfaction that we truly desire.

We get caught in traffic jams going to and from unfulfilling
work only to
come home to piles of chores. We become numb and we get so busy
with
our
responsibilities that we always run
out of time for the important
things in
life.

No Time For Important
Things In Life

Without
Life
Purpose? All Stressed Out? No Motivation?

Some
of us don't even know what our life
purpose is and even if we do, we've been blown so far off course
that living with purpose is a distant dream.

We're stressed out
while there are not enough
good things that come our way. With recessions, climbing personal
debt, job losses,
disasters, high divorce rates and crime, many of us are just coping to get
by emotionally and/or financially. As a result, our
relationships, careers, health and well-being all suffer.

We
often cannot get motivated
enough to make a difference. We procrastinate and nothing
really changes as the years go by.

Procrastination? Lack Of
Motivation?

We're left with frustration and
wonder if it's even possible to have a better life at all. We've
become mentally trapped in
deep ditches that our minds have created.

I've
Been There Just Like You Have

If any of this sounds like you, then I can certainly relate
with this
feeling. Believe me, I've been there at rock bottom as you
already know!

That's
Why
I Finally Decided To Go Public With My Story

I've since realized that many
people in this world are going
through lots of the same types of hardships that I went through.
I also realized that
many could benefit tremenously
from the
universal lessons
from my journey.

So in 2009, twenty five years after my family
tragedy, I decided to finally go with my story and document the
important principles which made such a huge positive difference in
my
life. It was no longer fair to keep these motivational secrets to
myself!

I wanted to
pull
back the curtains on the exact changes, mind-shifts and action steps I
took to go from tragedy to success
as a Life Champion.

I
wanted to share these universal lessons
with others who could really
benefit for their own lives. So the result was, The Life Champion In You.
